The build
An Off-Road Cargo Motorbike That Actually Carries
Not a pedal cargo bike for the city. A galvanised, electric off-road bike with a deck rated to 200 kg, built to carry a load across the farm.
The short version
An off-road cargo motorbike is a motorised off-road bike built to carry a real load. The Galvbike carries 200 kg including rider across paddocks, creeks and hills, on a big footwell and rear deck.
Search "cargo bike" and you get pushbikes doing city deliveries. That is not this.
This is the off-road, motorised kind: a farm machine that carries the load and goes where the load needs to go.
Not the cargo bike you are picturing
Most things called a "cargo bike" are pedal-powered, built for flat city streets and a courier's parcels. Useful in town, useless in a paddock.
An off-road cargo motorbike is the opposite animal: motorised, built for rough ground, and built to carry weight across it. That is what the Galvbike is.
What 200 kg actually carries
Payload is 200 kg including the rider, spread across a big front footwell and a rear deck. In real terms that is fencing gear, a load of firewood, dog tucker, drenches, sacks, tools, or the heading dog that has decided it is done walking.
It is a working deck, not a token rack, which is the whole point of calling it a cargo bike.
Loaded, and still off-road
Carrying weight is easy on flat tarmac and hard on a wet hillside. The direct-drive hub motor makes torque from a standstill, so it pulls a full deck up a face without a clutch to slip or a gear to find.
The galvanised frame and sealed IP67 motor shrug off mud and creek crossings, and most of the weight sits low, so it stays planted and easy to hold even loaded.
When a quad makes more sense
Being straight: if you need to move really heavy loads, tow a trailer, or carry a couple of people at once, that is quad or side-by-side territory. A cargo bike is for the everyday carrying, done more nimbly and far more cheaply.
We have set out how to choose in is an electric farm bike right for your farm, and the payload sits alongside the rest of the numbers on the specifications page.
Commonly asked
Is the Galvbike a cargo bike?
It is an off-road cargo motorbike, not the pedal-powered kind you see doing city deliveries. It is a galvanised electric off-road bike built to carry a real load across a farm, with a deck rated to 200 kg including rider.
How much can it carry?
200 kg including the rider, across the footwell and rear deck. That covers fencing gear, firewood, dog tucker, drenches, tools and the dog.

Yes. Direct-drive torque pulls a load up hills without a clutch, the galvanised frame and sealed motor handle mud and creeks, and the low weight keeps it stable loaded.
